Summary:

In this book editors Cafruny (international affairs, Hamilton College) and Schwartz (politics, U. of Virginia) and 10 contributors focus on answering a basic question: Did the financial crisis of 2008 and the recession that followed change the basic structure of the global economy? Some topics addressed include different regional impacts of and responses to the crisis, the options for China and Japan, how and why Latin America managed to avoid the worst of the crisis, the U.S. in the aftermath and its changed relationship with China, energy and natural resources, unsustainable credit levels and risky behavior in credit markets, and more.
